Chapter 187

"It's been three days."

Gu Jiansheng replied:

"On the evening of the second day after the adults left, we arrived in Wan'an County, and I heard that the adults came to Wulidiantun, and left the county government when the sky was about to dawn."

Gu Jiansheng's arrival frightened the people of Wulidiantun a lot.

Zhou Song and the others heard that there was a ghost case under their rule, and they instantly felt that the clouds were overshadowing the top, and the time of death was approaching.

According to the usual rules, after nightfall, the living rarely dare to walk at night, for fear of encountering ghosts - although ghosts kill people day and night, but under the influence of people's fear psychology, the people of the Han Dynasty rarely go out at night.

But because of such a terrible ghost case in Wulidiantun, Zhou Song was worried that he would not escape death, so he forcibly organized people regardless of the middle of the night, and wanted to rush to Zhuangjia Village to meet Zhao Fusheng and others.

"We asked the villagers of the nearby village to lead the way, and when we came to Zhuangjia Village, we found that there was already a ghost domain here."

Everyone surrounded the night, and when they had nothing to do, they found that as the sky gradually brightened, the ghost domain was slowly dispersing.

This discovery surprised and delighted everyone.

Gu Jiansheng is a person from the Demon Division of Baozhi County.

Although he has always been very popular in the Demon Division of Baozhi County by patting horses to welcome Zheng He, he is also clear about the basic situation of some ghost cases, and he knows that once the ghost domain is dispersed, it proves that the ghost cases here have been closed.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiansheng was overjoyed.

Although he said that he had seen Zhao Fusheng in Baozhi County that day, and he had a certain understanding of her strength, he saw that Zhao Fusheng had cracked another big case, and he knew more about her toughness in his heart.

When the people of Wulidiantun saw that the ghost domain was scattered, and they were afraid of the ghosts and did not dare to enter the village, Gu Jiansheng immediately made a decision and was the first to rush into the village, wanting to show loyalty to Zhao Fusheng.

"Fearing for the safety of adults, I rushed into the village first, only to find that it was an empty village."

There were no more living people in the village, "I told the others to split up and found the grazing horses in the corner of the village." ”

Then he found the carriage that was broken free by the horse, and guessed from the token on the carriage that Zhao Fusheng and others had settled here.

Since the people from Wan'an County Town Demon Division have been here, and Zhuangjia Village is empty, then there are two possibilities.

One is that Zhao Fusheng and several people died in Zhuangjia Village, and the other possibility is that Zhao Fusheng and others only stayed in Zhuangjia Village for a short time, because the next journey was not easy to walk, so they temporarily abandoned the carriage and used other ways to travel.

Gu Jiansheng guessed that it was the latter.

"First, after I searched the village, I found two skulls-"

The two bones of the deceased could no longer identify the identity of the deceased, but Zhao Fusheng and his party had a total of five people, in addition to the three people from the Demon Suppression Division, there were also two ordinary people, Zhuang Laoqi and Gou Laosi.

"I guess these two people unfortunately died in Zhuangjia Village, and the adults should have left this place safely."

Coupled with the cracking of the ghost domain, Gu Jiansheng said with a smile:

"I guess that's what adults do, and ordinary people can't do that."

He patted himself on the back and said:

"This ghost case is related to Kuailiang Village on the other side, so we decided to wait by the river, and sure enough, it didn't take long to see the adults return safely."

After speaking, he glanced at Wu Shaochun more, then looked at Kuai Manzhou, and said with a smile:

"This is the new Shaochun brother in Wan'an County, right?"

At the end, he pointed to Kuai Manzhou:

"Is this little girl a living mouth rescued by an adult this time?"

As soon as his voice fell, he keenly noticed that Zhang Chuanshi, Wu Shaochun and Fan Wusu looked at him with a strange expression, as if with a trace of pity and sympathy, and saw Gu Jiansheng's scalp tingling, not knowing what was wrong with his words.

Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"It's been three days."

She sighed and said:

"We'll talk as we go."

Zhou Song was helped up by everyone and hurriedly said:

"The carriage waiting for your lordship stopped above, and the tunli prepared drinks to celebrate your success—"

Zhao Fusheng glanced at Kuai Man, but did not resist, and responded.

"That day, we learned from Zhuang Laoqi that there was a ghost accident in Zhuangjia Village, so we rushed to Zhuang Village, but we encountered strange things on the way, and the carriage did not enter Wulidiantun——"

This should be related to Zhuang Laoqi at that time.

He didn't realize that he was dead, and because Zhao Fusheng forced back the ghost brand of Zhuang Siniang in the Demon Suppression Division, he luckily entered a stage of harnessing the power of ghosts.

During this period, everyone in the Demon Suppression Division did not notice, including Zhao Fusheng, who did not realize that something was wrong.

"After entering the village, we found that the people of Zhuangjia Village had died, and we took a boat to Kuailiang Village, which has been reduced to a ghost domain."

She probably told the reason for Zhuang Siniang's ghost case:

"After the death of Zhuang Siniang, the ghost revived and killed the people of Kuailiang Village, and the ghost case was not dealt with until the early hours of this morning."

Zhao Fusheng downplayed the process of this ghost case, but everyone knows the horror of the ghost, and after the death of Zhuang Siniang, he slaughtered two villages one after another, which shows that this ghost will grow rapidly to a terrifying level in a short period of time.

In addition, according to Zhao Fusheng, the villagers of Kuailiang Village also changed suddenly after their deaths, which made the complexity of this ghost case extraordinary.

How could she save the lives of the two envoys and rescue a small villager without taking two envoys with her?

Gu Jiansheng knew the rarity of this very well, he looked at Fan Wusu, and there was a complicated look in his eyes - I don't know whether to sympathize with Fan Wusuan, or whether he should be glad that he survived again.

Wan'an County Town Demon Division is short of manpower, but because of the influence of ghost fog, ghost cases are frequent.

In such a situation, Zhao Fusheng must handle the case, which is a blessing for the people in the county, but it is not a good thing for the envoy of the Demon Suppression Division......

Especially Gu Jiansheng heard from the people in the town of Wan'an County that after Zhao Fusheng returned to Wan'an County from Baozhi County, there was a ghost tomb case in Wan'an County, and he immediately took Fan Bi and a few people to the ghost tomb to calm the danger of the ghost tomb.

In this way, there are only four people in Wan'an County, except for a person surnamed Liu who is said to have stayed in the Confucius Temple and does not know his identity, several other people, including Zhang Chuanshi, who is a thief and a rat-eyed person, each of them has handled two ghost cases with Zhao Fusheng.

This frequency is simply frighteningly high!

Ghosts are unreasonable.

Dealing with ghosts is a business done with a head, and it is extremely dangerous.

Although almost none of these envoys died, it was inevitable that something would happen if they walked too much at night.

Gu Jiansheng originally admired Zhao Fusheng's strong strength and the extraordinary means he showed in the face of powerful ghosts, and he always wanted to be transferred from Baozhi County to Wan'an County to take up a post, but when he thought of this, he couldn't help but hesitate again, worried that once he came, he might have to handle the case like these envoys.

"This case has caused a catastrophe!"

Zhao Fusheng looked stern and looked at Zhou Song:

"I don't blame you if you don't know after the ghost case started, but the cause of this ghost case is due to man-made disasters."

Zhou Song secretly complained in his heart, and in the face of Zhao Fusheng's reprimand, he didn't dare to refute, but only agreed again and again.

"Kuailiang Village dares to lynch people without going through the government, you are guilty of serious dereliction of duty. But after you heard about the ghost case, you didn't blame the committee and was afraid of death, and rushed to deal with it in time, so I will write it down for the time being, and then determine the result after your follow-up performance. ”

Zhao Fusheng knew very well that the ghost case in Kuailiang Village could not be solved by asking for the life of a tun chief.

The imperial court has serious taxes, and the villagers are overwhelmed, so they will always take risks.

When it comes to money and other issues, it is easy to have a lot of problems.

There may be bandits who rob the road when they go out, and there are strongmen who rob and plunder, forcing some villagers to huddle together for warmth, forming the initial prototype of the ancestral hall.

After the ancestral hall is completed, there are pros and cons.

The advantage is that with the protection of the ancestral hall, most people can live in the group, will no longer be bullied by the outside world, and save their lives in this world; But the disadvantage is that once the local government is weak, I am afraid that it will not be able to deal with these ancestral halls, and its prestige will be reduced, and it will be helpless in the face of ancestral halls.

Zhao Fusheng thought of a place in his mind: Huanggang Village.

In the past mentioned by Wu Shaochun and others, 'Huanggang Village' was mentioned, this village is very deep, and now that Wan'an County has been abandoned by the imperial court, it may be difficult for local officials to meddle in the affairs of these villages.

The Kuailiang Village case is a typical example.

The people in the village were bold, and Uncle Kuailiu's words were better than everything, and he dared to kill a person without the approval of the government, which led to the birth of a ghost disaster.

If this situation does not change, there will still be a second Kuraung Village in the future.

Zhao Fusheng endured the chaotic thoughts in his heart and said sternly to Zhou Song:

"Now you have a chance to make meritorious deeds. After the death of the people of Kuara Village, the scattered corpses are scattered along the river, and you need someone to clean up the aftermath and clean up the village so that the plague does not spread. ”

Zhou Song nodded again and again in agreement.

"The village here is in a good position, backed by the mountains, and there are specialties like Baisu, as well as fields, you don't let the fields here be wasted, and encourage some bold villagers to move here."

The old tun chief listened to her instructions while wiping his sweat, and couldn't help but be extremely surprised when he saw that she seemed to mean that she wanted to continue to move people into Kuailiang Village.

At a loss, the old tun chief subconsciously looked up at Zhao Fusheng, forgetting to obey and fear for a while, but with a look of embarrassment.

"My lord—"

Zhou Song wiped his sweat frequently, hesitating and not daring to speak.

The ghost riders of the Demon Suppression Division have strange tempers, are uncertain, and many people who don't agree with each other will take people's lives.

Wulidian Tun is not far from Wan'an County, Zhou Song was fortunate to meet with Zhao Qiming's previous Ling Si, at that time the Ling Si was already in a half-ghost state, looking at people's eyes chilling, he couldn't sleep for a long time after he went home, he often had nightmares at night, dreaming of the eyes of the ghost Ling Si when he looked at people, and woke up with cold sweat soaked in the quilt.

Since then, Zhou Song has been very afraid of ghost handlers, to the point of fame and fear.

After hearing about the ghost case this time, Zhou Song had even arranged his funeral in his heart, but found that the new commander of Wan'an County was not the terrifying appearance he imagined.

As a ghost handler, her expression is too calm, and she lacks the feeling of tyranny and out of control.

"If you have something to say, say it." Zhao Fusheng went up the slope and saw the carriage of Wulidiantun parked on the side of the road.

Tunli prepared a special vehicle for her, which was luxuriously and comfortably furnished, she unceremoniously got into the carriage, and only after sitting down did she signal Zhou Song to speak directly.

"What do you mean by your lordship, do you want to reuse the land of Kuara Village?" Zhou Song followed the car.

Fan Wusu, Zhang Chuanshi and others walked to the car on the other side, Kuai Man didn't say a word, followed behind Zhao Fusheng, and wanted to sit in the same car with her.

"Hey, you kid-"

When Gu Jiansheng saw this scene, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to lift the manzhou.

"Adult's car, how can you follow the reason, do you understand the rules." He reprimanded and lifted Kuai Manzhou up.

The little girl was grabbed by him by the back collar and lifted, and a pair of bare feet dangled in the air.

She turned her head with a blank expression, and her complexion instantly turned pale.

This white color seems to have lost its luster, and it is almost grayish, giving people an abnormal feeling of being dead.

I don't know when, Kuai Manzhou's hand suddenly held a withered brown branch, like a dead branch broken from anywhere.

But the withered branch fell into her hand, and it was unbelievable that the dead wood regained spring in an instant, and the leaves budded appeared.

A flower bone grew at the top of the branch bud, Gu Jiansheng thought he was dazzled, so he blinked twice vigorously, forgetting to continue scolding.

"Full Week!"

Zhao Fusheng sensed the leakage of ghost energy, and when he came out, he just saw this scene.

A shadow appeared behind Kuai Manzhou.

A circle of circular black shadows appeared under the little girl's body, and as soon as the shadow appeared, Gu Jiansheng's shadow was engulfed.

There seems to be a red shadow flickering in the shadows.

Before Gu Jiansheng realized the strange appearance, Zhao Fusheng stretched out his arms, took Kuai Manzhou in his arms, and hugged him into his arms.

"My lord, a country girl, how can you let you hug it, why don't you let me hug it." Gu Jiansheng glared at Kui Manzhou, and then showed a flattering smile at Zhao Fusheng.

"No need."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head and glanced at Wu Shaochun.

Wu Shaochun hurriedly stepped forward to pull Gu Jiansheng away, he still wanted to speak, Fan Wusu shook his head:

"You kid really don't know whether to live or die."

Zhang Chuanshi didn't want to agree with Fan Wusheng's words, but he also nodded when he heard the words.

“……”

Gu Jiansheng didn't know what to do, and scratched his head.

On the other side, Zhao Fusheng carried Kuai Manzhou into the car and warned her:

"That's not how the power of demons is used. If you learn to restrain yourself, if you can't, come to me and I'll teach you how to restrain yourself. ”

"How do you teach me restraint?" Kuai Manzhou's eyes widened.

Zhao Fusheng calmly stretched out his fist:

"Use this."

"......" The little girl was silent and shrank into the corner.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at her and felt a headache.

After people and ghosts are together, they will be affected by ghosts, and their temperament will change greatly, and as their strength skyrockets, their sense of mercy and morality will weaken, and their tyrannical and cruel side will be highlighted.

Kuai Manzhou is still young, he has suffered drastic changes, and now he is harnessing the ghosts, and he dares to use the power of the ghosts when he disagrees, and he acts too freely, which is a lack of constraints.

However, the child who raised this ghost was not in a hurry.

She beckoned Zhou Song to come:

"It's a pity that the fields in Kuailiang Village are deserted, and the houses in the village are all ready-made, so I really don't plan to give up there."

"But my lord, it's haunted!"

Zhou Song saw that her expression was calm and she could still speak calmly with herself, so she had the courage to speak:

"It's just that there is an adult's explicit order to relocate, and I dare to do it, but I'm afraid that Diao Min will not obey."

"That's it."

Zhao Fusheng sighed for a moment and said:

"Once the people who have moved into the village are registered, they will distribute the fields, and I will be the master, and the villagers of Kuailiang Village will be exempted from the tax of the Demon Division for three years."

After experiencing the case of Goutou Village, Zhao Fusheng knows the great temptation of reducing or reducing the taxes of the Demon Suppression Division.

Sure enough, as soon as her voice fell, Zhou Song and the Tunli errand who were still scared when they talked about the ghost case before showed shocked and incredulous expressions after hearing about the reduction and exemption of the taxes of the Demon Suppression Division.

"What?!"

Some of the officers exclaimed, and the old commander forgot to scold him because he was too surprised.

"My lord, can you really reduce the tax of the Demon Suppression Division for three years?"

There was an errand officer who couldn't hold back and asked eagerly.

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

"If I can really reduce taxes, then I would like to move my family into Kuailiang Village." The messenger who got Zhao Fusheng's response blurted out.

"Are you crazy?"

Someone turned his head and whispered:

"That's a freshly haunted place."

"What's the matter with the haunting—" muttered the officer:

"Tax exemption for three years."

……

Zhao Fusheng listened to the conversation between these people in his ears and did not make a sound.

Zhou Song coughed twice and said:

"My lord, don't hide it from my lord, the people of Kuailiang Village and Zhuangjia Village are dead, if it is another period, Liangtian naturally shouldn't let it go, but there is such a big ghost case——"

When the old tun chief said this, his face was full of apprehension, and he was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would be angry.

He paused secretly for a long time, and did not wait for a reprimand, before he trembled and continued:

"Although the adults are wise and drove away the ghosts, if there are still people in the village, I am afraid that some people don't know what to say, and explain the law of killing ghosts, and then there will be ghost cases......"

Speaking of which, he snapped:

"If I really want to relocate the population, please be gracious, please send an envoy to help me."

"That's not going to happen."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:

"Demons are not exorcized." She explained softly:

"The ghost has been subdued, and Kuara Village at this time is a clean and pure land."

"Accepted?!"

Before the old tun chief could speak, Gu Jiansheng, who was not far away, was the first to shout.

Everyone was frightened and didn't dare to speak out, so Gu Jiansheng said:

"Did you take it in with an adult? Adult Thunder Means-"

"Nope."

Wu Shaochun looked at him with pity and said:

"It's the little girl you just mentioned, Kuai Manzhou."

Gu Jiansheng froze in place.

……

The group got on the bus one after another and rushed back to Wulidiantun for a short rest.

Along the way, Gu Jiansheng didn't dare to speak out, remembering the scene when he was mentioning the whole week, and he was afraid.

The road from Zhuangjia Village to Wulidian Tun was rugged and difficult, and when I returned to Tunzhen, it was already more than an hour later.

By this time, it was already getting dark.

After the convoy entered the town, it attracted many onlookers.

Zhao Fusheng looked out of the car and saw that the houses along the road were low and dilapidated, and many onlookers were yellow and thin.

Many people were in rags, with short trouser legs and long trouser legs, and their faces showed fear and curiosity in the face of the convoy entering the town.
